PrintAm I to Harsh?
First impresions are everything and right now he's not making a very good one. First of all the line up. Why does Kendall continue to bat leadoff? I thought that was a Macha blunder , but I guess its a Geren blunder now. Start Rich Harden on opening day!!! Not on the third game of the series!! Now were screwed for the Angles series. Insted of winning on opening day, and gaining momentum were forced to venture into the unkown with Chad, and Joe. Why yank your rookie who just slammed a double the previous game for a scrub like Kielty. Let the that momentuim carry over into a three run homer for the kid. Last, but not least Never- I mean- Never take your starting pitcher out {83 Pitches} after the team battled back to tie the game for him. Let Kentucky Fried Joe at least give up a run first. At the same time your giving the bullpenn some much needed time to warm up. Very Lame. I know its early, but god I hate seeing yuneski betincourt hit a tie breaking homerun against anyone let alone us. The HoneyMoon is over Macha I Mean Geren time to play ball!!! Later

"You cannot be serious"
Just to answer a few of your questions:
1.) Yep, you're too harsh.
2.) I'm not a Kendall fan in the least, but he had a very solid season last year once he was moved back to the leadoff spot and we have all of two games worth of sample size this year.
3.) Gaudin and Kennedy would be pitching in the Angels series regardless of where Harden pitches. Besides, Dan Haren deserved the opening day nod based on his performance over the last two years.
4.) You do know that Kielty has killed lefties over his career, right? If the idea is to put your best lineup out there, then Kielty v. lefties is as good a place to start as any.
5.) I can go either way on Fat Joe getting lifted, but the bullpen is strength and sometimes they'll be night's like tonight.
I had "Baby Ruth" in the pool
Geeze...
Do we have to start the "It's safe in here" threads already?
-Nick Swisher
Yeah, for christ's sake.
Give it a bit, eh?
Otherwise, good troll. You got me.
It's your fault, Poppy, that the A's are 0-2
I hate you! You suck!
-Nick Swisher
Change your friggin' signature!
Who cares about Frank?! It's your fault Piazza's not hitting!
Hey, I'm not going to take sides on this one.
You both suck.

And MikeY likes it! (Younger fans may not get this joke).
Oh my God,
that is SUCH a CRV! <sends complaint to honda@athleticsnation.com>
Cereal killer
(See "baby eating" thread for double-pun.)
Or trollcasm
Personally, I think Geren should be fired over his first mistake, followed by releasing Swisher the first time he throws to the wrong base. And Poppy should have been fired long ago, but she's Beane's buddy too so that ain't gonna happen...
If it was anyone else making that joke,
they would have made a funnier one. Yeah. Uh-huh.
<sits with Poppy at lunch, puts backpack on empty seat as kaweahkaweah comes by>
Eh, what?
<turns better ear towards Poppy> Metadorsal? No, it's my spleen.
metadorsal?
... isn't that what we ask one of our shorter, more sabermetrically inclined friends when he runs into a closed portal?
Wow, that's bad.
Aren't you supposed to be unpacking or something? All unpacked? Okay, can't you repack and then take some time off to unpack it again?
Chris, what an asshole!
I's a gonna keep usin' it 'til it's plumb wore out.
even better: metadorsal ...
... when Our Puny Friend dons short black tights and a red cape to face down bulls in the ring.
ooooooo....tough audience!
Y'all suck!

Brilliant
At least, I hope so.
Beane hired Geren... shouldn't we fire him?
And then Wolff, because he kept Beane on.
And then, like, the world, for not killing Wolff and putting Johnny McNevergetsitwrong in his place.
Two games. Oy.
Johnny is my cousin...
and his cousin is Jonny Benchcoach.
as of yet

If I were the UMP ..

A's will be under 500 . . .
. . . until May. So what's new. Geren can't pitch, throw, or hit.
